In Part 3 of this series, ISV Architect Evangelist Bruce Kyle, explores three ways of using the parallel library features in .NET 4, System.Threading.Tasks, in your application.
Using System.Threading.Tasks.Task class library Using Parallel For, ForEach, and Invoke Using Parallel LINQ to…

TPL Dataflow (TDF), System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow, builds upon the foundational layer for asynchronous and concurrent programming using Tasks provided in TPL in .NET 4. TDF is a complementary set of primitives to those delivered in TPL in .NET 4, addressing additional scenarios beyond those…

Bart De Smet has been very busy. As you can imagine, the latest release of Rx (v1.11011.11 (Experimental)) supports the latest (developer preview) .NET version, 4.5. In this release, Bart and company have forged a deeper synergy with the async/await Task-based asynchrony model (see Prefer Async…

Stephen Toub goes deep into the design and architecture of the new Async features in C# and VB.NET, which rely heavily on .NET’s Task Parallel Library. You can get an early look at this new async programming model, available as the Async CTP, today!

Joe Duffy, Huseyin Yildiz, Daan Leijen, Stephen Toub and I gathered in a conference room in building 122 to dig into the Task Parallel Library infrastructure. You've heard about the

Introduction:
In Visual Studio 2010, the Parallel Computing team has delivered APIs and tools for developers wanting to build applications that take advantage of multiple cores. This video provides a glimpse on the managed APIs, debugging windows and…
